Vietnam Airlines adjusts Taiwan flights due to Typhoon Maria

By Wednesday noon, 390,000 people in Zhejiang, including 270,000 in Wenzhou, had been evacuated and about 25,000 boats had returned to port or safe sea areas.

Fujian's flood control office estimated the storm inflicted 547 million yuan (US$82 million) in economic losses on the province, including 76 million yuan in damage to water infrastructure, state-run news agency Xinhuareported.

At least two fishermen were left stranded in a boat at about 20 metres (65 feet) away from shore in Lianjiang county and had to be rescued by a team of seven firefighters amid the strong winds, according to Fujian fire department. Its wind speeds reached 191 kilometers per hour.

Fujian ordered all fishing boats to return to harbor by Tuesday noon and workers at offshore fish farms were required to return to land by 6pm.
